a87745Single volume. Sm.4to. 287p. no blanks marbled boards with leather spine. Entirely manuscript. Title of first page: "Diary Commencing Sunday Oct 3 1869 at Colombo Ceylon". Diary ends April 13 1873. First 38 pages are very interesting as the diarist describes in fine detail- with frequent touches of dry humor - his adventures as he travels on the Simla Steamship from Colombo through the Suez Canal back to London. He mentions that he has taken this trip before. The rest of the diary is written in England apparently in Southampton and most all entries follow a pattern of first describing the day's weather and then listing ships going in or out their passengers and/or their cargo usually coal slate or peat. A few personal notes are given but not often. On his way up to the Suez Canal the Simla stops to pick up coal. Diarist writes: "Aden is very rocky with a dry scorched burnt appearance little or no soil & no vegetation.hot & the glare of the sun exceedingly effecting to the eye." He goes inland to a settlement where he finds "half a dozen of the Simla passengers surrounded by almost two dozen of native trading Jews particularly anxious to pass their wares ostrich eggs and feathers.the din and noise they made baffles description drowning our voices so that we could not hear each other speak.After a quarter of an hour spent in the noisy battling with our salesmen I became the purchaser of some ostrich feather white and gray." Later in trip the ship's Lieut. Col. Lacy "died suddenly after a few hours illness of heat apoplexy". The next day the ship's chaplain refuses to assist at the funeral services as he believed Lacy brought on his own death by drinking too much. Typical entries once back in London: "January 9 1872 . Light airs and colam. Reaper sailed at morn.light breeze from NE with rain second case of diptheria reported in Island at Windbreck. Dr. Logic came here on sunday ." "July 3 1872. Moderate light breeze.Boat off for first load of peats. Simson came in with cargo of slates." From the text is seem likely that the diarist worked either as the Dockmaster or employee of some sort at the Southhampton dock or as an employee of a shipping company located in that area. Some names mentioned in the diary: J. W. Heddle Capt. James Cromarty J. W. Laughton and his son John John Storach and Charles Henry Sparkes. Diarist does say his brother-in-law was Samuel L. Louttie who died unexpectedly on October 22 1869. Another interesting note is that diarist mentions that "The Bank" began July 15 1872. Neat and legible. Diary is in near VG condition with no spotting or tears but some light cover wear. Pictures available on request. . hardcover

180211993London: W. Jones. London W. Jones 1802. Later Edition. Hardback. A very good copy. Subtitled: A New Edition Revised and Corrected. A supremely important Utopia set in a contemporary Paris alas not a first edition. A milestone of proto-science fiction. The book was first published in France in 1771 with an English translation the following year. An important book that helped enormously with the popularity of "tales of the future" which "became a pattern for future novels". It was the first novel with "a future date as the entire title of a work of fiction paving the way for Orwell" also "the first utopia set in a future time" aka a uchronia Alkon p21 & p60; Claeys p138. The present edition is uncommon. The first English translation was by a 'Dr William Hooper' who retitled it 2500 as a nice "round number" as compared to the actual title of 2440. There was a Dublin edition in 1772 an American edition in 1795 and a further English edition in 1799. The next edition in English appears to by in 1997 by the Gregg Press. Though the BL and others report this translation as also being by Dr Hooper there's nothing it seems do indicate that's the case and nothing further to indicate who 'revised' and 'corrected' it. Five copies located in COPAC none at auction. Bound in plain cloth with a morocco label. Some notes to the rear in a contemporary English hand with a few in the text. Some offsetting but very near internally. 11993 Hyraxia Books. . Very Good. Hardback. Later Edition. 1802. W. Jones hardcover
18569575London: L. Booth. London L. Booth 1856. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A very good copy. A rare book. We can find no reference to it in commerce or in British institutions indeed the only copy seems to be in LoC. No copy located at the BL. The book considers the Crimean War and the author's part in it. Turnerelli was a British artist and Tsar Nicholas I was his patron under whom he spent 16 years in Russia. Turnerelli continually addresses the pseudo-epistolary work to 'Princess'; presumably Princess Charlotte it would take a more thorough reading to confirm this. It seems given that Turnerelli returned to Britain during the war that his patriotism was challenged and a chunk of the book seems to be rationalising and justifying his dual loyalties. There's also a section about his writing of Nicholas's epitaph. In the postscript Turnerelli talks about how the book was received. There's nothing to say conclusively that he's refering to the present title but it seems likely. Perhaps there was an earlier issue and the postscript was added on as a later issue the binding seems to suggest this. Either way it's a hard book to find and an interesting piece. It seems that Turnerelli also wrote a couple of ghost stories. The binding is a little rubbed and worn with chipping to the spine tips. A few pencil inscriptions. The folding plate is intact. Overall though it's in decent shape. 9575 Hyraxia Books. . Very Good. Hardback. 1st Edition. 1856. L. Booth hardcover
1650V75854London: Henry Seile 1650. Hardcover. Fair. Octavo 142x87mm leather rebacked/worn to edges/scuffed. Titlepage framed with printer's ornaments verso with errata within printer's ornaments 4p= Preface 2p= Contents 205pp. With a few ornamental headers and decorative initial capitals.

The author wrote this in response to the perceived slander of Anthony Weldon's "The Court and Character of King James" as Weldon fell out with the King. In contrast to the Weldon work this espouses the cause of the King. Sanderson was a historical writer and thus starts with Queen Elizabeth of which he writes "Some say she had many favorites but in truth she had none". Before moving onto her courtiers from the Cecils to the Earl of Essex recounting the laters execution in 1601. Sanderson moved on to to King James and Sir Walter Raleigh and his expeditions to Irelandhis travels to Guiana and the New World but finally his downfall and execution. Later characters assesed include the Archbishop George Abbot and the Duke of Buckingham. Sanderson beings his work by bemoning those who would "delight in sinne" and "take great pains to slander the dead" refering to Weldon. An amusing if digressive history of the times like Seldon he devotes significant time to court intrigue during the reign of James rebuking Weldon`s assertion that James "hated" Robert Cecil he also claims the Duke of Overbury was poisoned whilst imprisoned in the tower of London in 1613. He finishes the book with a defence of the character of James who he says "his best peace was his inside which wise men admired" he credits James`s Rex Pacificus policy and writes "what did he not do without the pike if not with his pen". Sanderson concludes that a pahmlet is far to "petit" to convey the great character of this monarch. Sanderson does not engage Weldon in his assaults on the Stuart house as a whole but rather offers retorts to Weldon`s assaults on James`s reign specifically. Sanderson was a Cavalier and following the restoration was made a member of the Privy Chamber by Charles II. He died in 1676 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. Henry Seile hardcover
